Your Whole Life Took You To This Place and Time

Unwrapped
It’s the Saturday night before Christmas and the Dollar Store is crowded.
Some are there because they choose to be, some are there because they have to be, some are there because they got kicked out of the tavern next door.
Wrapping paper, Christmas bags, Santa boxes and Christmas cards are great bargains at the Dollar Store.
So the purchase is a dozen Christmas cards and then the Dollar Store is left behind.
At home, though, it’s discovered that there was enough old Christmas wrapping and recycled bags from last year that even the bargain cards at the Dollar Store probably weren’t necessary.
Do you go back to the Dollar Store and dance in the cold and scream and rant and demand your money back as Christmas draws nearer by the moment?
Yes. Yes. That’s exactly what you do. –TK
